During Juan and John Paul's illnesses, many of us have asked Juan & Marisol, "Let me know if you need anything. Anytime." 

Well, now’s the time. 

Marisol recently talked to me about a program called "Share the Care", which shows how to organize a group of friends and family that can to help take care of someone who is seriously ill.

This group will help with such things as taking out their trash cans on Sunday evenings, picking up groceries or medications, reading with/to the kids, housecleaning, gardening, basic house repairs, etc., just to name a few. 

This will greatly help to ease some of their day-to-day burdens.

We’re reaching out to you in hopes that together we can start and organize our group to help and support Juan & Marisol.  Sol and I are meeting with Marisol next week to see what kind of help they need. 

If you want more information or would like to get involved, email me at mrsmlr@yahoo.com

For moe information about Share the Care, please check www.sharethecare.org.

If you know of other of their friends who you think would be able to join this very special group, please forward me their e-mail address.

We know that everyone is busy but, surprisingly enough, love is capable of handling many things, especially when it comes to helping our friends. 

Thank you and God bless.

Love,

Martha & Sol
